The property wasn’t clean especially one of the bathrooms. It took us almost 3 hrs to unlock the door so we didn’t get to check in until late. Both toilets were not working. However, this property is a good location.

The rental we originally booked had no electricity. But thankfully, we were moved into this one that was much better. We absolutely loved the waterfront view, the patio, amenities, etc. We are definitely considering using this rental again. And a huge thank you to Vacasa for turning our experience around.

The view was so serene.

Right on the water. Had all the amenities needed for our stay.

Property was never cleaned upon check-in and had been left dirty for at least a day and a half. Ant infestation in the home, including in the beds. Rats were underneath the home. Beautiful location and beach. Vrbo was helpful connecting us to Vacasa. Took several days to get proper customer service from Vacasa and then it was excellent. Vacasa structure is set up for message taking, not for problem solving.

Our recent stay at this property was far from bliss. Beware, as this property is managed by Vacasa, a third-party property management company with very sub-par support. While the listing for the property boasts of "a water filtration system for a healthy and clean environment", they also mention something about the "fluctuating tap water quality in the Village of Surfside Beach". The water in this property did in fact have not only a yellow tint but also a grotesque odor akin to sewage. The listing mentions that the yellow water is safe for bathing, but it is far from desired to bathe in sulfur-scented slime water. The master shower was all that we were able to use for bathing because the "jetted soaking tub" does not actually hold water (the drain cannot be stopped). The shower leaks onto the bathroom floor; it came with two shower heads: one is so calcified that it sprays with immense and ineffective pressure, the other sprays a dribbling ooze that cannot maintain consistent temperature. Beyond the water problem was a considerable issue with ants. We very often had to flick ants off of our food, belongings, and children. Worst of all was the fact that the AC went out on our third night. The property climbed up to 85 degrees while Vacasa was unable to get anybody out to the property until long after we had to leave (lest we suffer from a Texas heat stroke). This house has potential, but it has fallen into some degree of disrepair to the point where it is unhospitable.

We had a wonderful time. The view from the deck is lovely. Kitchen is well stocked. Would stay again, for sure.
